Positive pregnancy test? HELP

Can someone please help me out?
Is this a positive pregnancy test or an evaporation line? Test taken an hour ago (didn’t check it straight away)
Praying for our Christmas miracle! 🙏

I know and I feel EXACTLY the same! Like it’s all I think about, I’m having such vivid dreams about random stuff too.
And then u have someone that goes out on a 1night stand and boom! 🤷‍♀️

I know I find myself repeating my nanas mantra constantly “Their babies do not take away from yours, there are enough to go round” which helps a lot. I’m now wondering if I took a strip test and it was negative would I let myself rest. I can’t remember where I even bought the first one from Confused

Broodyaf · 28/12/2018 09:38

I keep looking at the negatives but I just can’t let myself rest! And if we’re not pregnant all this anxiety and constant stress and overthinking is no doubt delaying our AFs yet it’s impossible to switch off!
What is ur OH saying?

Broodyaf if you are still getting negatives on all tests it sounds like a possible chemical pregnancy. The lines on the cheap tests were positive. So sorry!

Ttcvickster I can't see lines with colour on any of your tests. Maybe it's clearer in real life. Good luck

TTCVickster · 28/12/2018 09:42

He’s Just said let’s see what happens next month haha. If I was pregnant by now I am 99.9% sure a test would show it so I’m tempted to just act as such and get on with it. This has been the worst month for sure for me so maybe he has a point

Broodyaf · 28/12/2018 09:53

@waitingonasmiley yeah I read up on chemical pregnancies and think that’s possibly what I have had. There is no denying my tests were BFPs... I guess I just have to wait for the bleed now 😭

@vickster, easier said than done but we can’t keep goin on like this. We’re putting ourselves through hell and back x

Sorry you’re going through this, could’ve been a “chemical” (horrible term!).

Anxiety is unlikely to affect menstrual cycles. (I have anxiety issues).

TTCVickster · 28/12/2018 10:33

Broodyaf I think you’ve defo got more chance than me. I’m almost accepting I’m out and waiting for the inevitable AF so I can start again. I think you might need to keep testing for a few days. Was today your first bfn?

Broodyaf · 28/12/2018 10:55

Vickster I done a CB digital on 26th “not pregnant” but put that down to not having high enough HCG levels as they’re not sensitive tests, done a boots digital 26th evening and again 27th morning, both negative. Again thought the same as I read up about the digitals needing higher hormone levels so bought 2 first response tests yday, done 1 yday evening and 2nd one this morning. Both BFNs

The more I read up on it the more I think it’s a chemical pregnancy. I’m having water discharge since yday, thought it was just pregnancy hormones.... now I think it’s the start of the end 😭

TTCVickster · 28/12/2018 11:04

Oh no Broody, I’ll keep everything crossed for you.

Broodyaf · 28/12/2018 11:18

And the same for you - let me know how u get on. I’m expecting my AF in the next day or 2. The more I read up on this the more I think it’s a chemical pregnancy.
Wish the icky tummy and sore swollen boobs would go away if it is! X

OP posts:
TTCVickster · 28/12/2018 11:23

I’m wondering whether I’ll skip this months AF or whether it will turn up. Hopefully soon so I can start again quickly.

Broodyaf · 28/12/2018 11:31

If ur not pregnant ul just be late, so it’ll turn up. But use the ovulation tests to keep u on track x

GreenTulips · 28/12/2018 11:57

I brought the cheap tests and tested a few days after implantation - I knew I was pregnant as I felt it (yes I know people think that’s weird)

The cheap test showed positive -

The newer test seem to need you to be more pregnant -

So don’t give up hope

Broodyaf · 28/12/2018 12:00

Hi Green tulips - did u use first response?
How long did it take you to get another positive after the cheapie showed positive? X

Blueflower22 · 28/12/2018 12:28

@GreenTulips hey, I saw you said that you felt you were pregnant. What do you mean by that!?!

GreenTulips · 28/12/2018 14:22

Ok - this is real and may sound strange!!

I was woken up in the middle of the night by the conception - it was a warm glowing feeling and I knew I was pregnant!!

It does happen!! I’ve since read about it and others have felt it too.

I didn’t have sore boobs with either pregnancies, or other symptoms etc till the morning sickness too over!

Blueflower22 · 28/12/2018 14:35

@GreenTulips I thought that happened to me at 8dpo but been testing since then and no positive test. My stomach felt full and heavy but that's gone away a bit

I'm going to test tomorrow next it will be the day my period is due.

Blueflower22 · 28/12/2018 14:38

@GreenTulips how many days after the first feeling did you get a positive test ?

Broodyaf · 28/12/2018 15:36

@greentulips how long from the cheap positive did it take u for the dearer tests to come up Positive?

OP posts:
GreenTulips · 28/12/2018 15:39

I was pregnant on the Sunday and tested the cheap one on the Tuesday - positive

Didn’t do another test til the day after period was due - so two weeks ish

Broodyaf · 28/12/2018 15:47

Thanks @greenTulips
Sorry I thought u meant u tried the dearer tests and got negatives but u didn’t get any negatives, u just held off.
My period due today/tomoro and I’m still testing negative. I do believe at this stage it’s a chemical pregnancy, just no blood yet 🤷‍♀️

OP posts:
TTCVickster · 28/12/2018 17:56

Broody I gave in and used my last clear blue. I’ve decided I’m officially out. Not even a hint of a line at 7 days late so I’m going to discount this cycle and hope for the best for the next one. Hope yours picks up!

Positive pregnancy test? HELP
Broodyaf · 28/12/2018 18:18

Ah Vickster I know how u feel. I’ve decided that mines a chemical pregnancy but if ur anything like me, as much as I’m telling myself I’m out, I don’t think we’ll fully settle til AF arrives!
This has went from the best to the worst Christmas!

OP posts:
TTCVickster · 28/12/2018 18:39

I didn’t expect to still be so down over it. I thought after waiting a year I’d become accustomed to the idea it was not going to be easy but apparently I had held out hope. Fingers crossed it won’t be too long until we get a BFP that sticks
